Best Engine oil for Kia Soul

If you reserve and prepay online at Speedmate (chain with multiple locations) it can be pretty cheap.

I bought a car from them last year, it was a Kia Soul S 2020. It drive great though but did burn half a quart of oil between changes so maybe it was better off gone.

Last oil change I put in Valvoline R&P 5W-30. The final 500 miles before the oil change I added Rislone and it changed the color of the oil from light to dark brown. When I got the car it was using a quart in about 2200-2500 miles.

This weekend, the oil that's in it is coming out (it's clean) and Valvoline Restore and Protect is going in. Rationale is there will undoubtedly be deposits on the pistons, in the piston ring grooves and ring lands.

There is no “break-in oil” just ENEOS brand 0W-20. KIA and ENEOS have a partnership and the factory oil fill is this oil

As far as the castrol goes I bought a used 2018 Kia soul that had a slight knock in the engine for ultra cheap and I was able to make that sound go completely away once I switched to Castrol edge. My vehicle also seamed to burn a lot less oil.

They burn oil so you have to stay in top of how much oil you have in the car. Check it every so often. I burn about a half quart every 1500 miles.
